Worst Kind of Snob?

[dakdak]

The only way to tell a good wine is to look at the price tag. When you taste it say something along of the lines of "I enjoyed the oaky after birth paired with a hint of seasonal fruit reminiscent of a warm summer's day. Certainly a 2006 vintage judging by the full bodied aroma."

Boom, nailed it. That was snobby and incoherent.

yes people like you are the reason murder exists

i may be kidding

MustBeGood, I'd like to thank you kindly as my self-esteem as a Raider fan has greatly increased.

The stadium is old and smells like pee

As a Cards fan I can't help but sing the "It's not bad luck, the Cubs just suck" line over and over. :stir:

wine snobs who dont know a goddamned thing about what actually makes good wine and just talk about how awesome their wine is because they paid 30 bucks a bottle for it

I'm not a wine drinker but I did learn something a long time ago. There are 3 kinds of wine, $7, $15, over $35. Unless you taste wine for a living, every snob can be fooled.

I am half Sicilian, and was raised by that half of the family. They always had wine around, and drank it with dinner...usually red, because that's what they liked. They rarely bought good wine, and drank some brand that came in a gallon jug, and bought it from the import store they shopped at. I do not in any way shape or form like wine I do not like wine at all, never did, and won't drink it....but the one exception to that, is Boones Farm Apple. And it has to be in a brown paper bag, straight from the bottle.

Does that qualify as being a wine snob?

Cubs snobs.

I kid I kid!

No seriously, you're giving me a headache.

Sorry. It's a Chick A Go thing.

That was a Cards fan who made that. "Same results in a different year".

Last one Adams. It is funny.

Although he's one of the best characters on television at the moment, this guy is the King of the Snobs:

My thing is probably car snobs. Owning a luxury or exotic nameplate does not mean that you're better than someone who owns something more pedestrian. If you're a car enthusiast and you "know" your car, I respect you - doesn't matter what brand it is. But if you're someone who just knows that you have a Mercedes/AMG, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, Porsche, etc., and you know NOTHING about the car or its performance, you're just a poseur. Xo Gisele has a nice last generation Vette. She knows her car. She's a gearhead and she knows what she's talking about when she's talked about modifying it. Not because I want to jump her bones (or not just because ), but I'd like to run into Gisele at a car show just to shoot the bull with her. But now, the girl who had a Jag XKR, who said that it had a supercharged V12 (when Jag hasn't built a V12 in almost 20 years)... I don't want to meet her. Having a nice car with a leaping cat on the hood (that her boyfriend or a sugar daddy probably bought her) will not make her any less stupid.

Another snob group that's begun to annoy me is that of the Apple fanbois (and gurls). I've been into Apple products for a LONG time. And I own the stock. I like their stuff. At least when Jobs was running the show, I really liked the company - I guess I was also a fanboi. But all things Apple are not superior to anything and everything else out there - especially these days (the quality has slipped under Cook, IMO). The kool-aid drinking fanbois and apologists get on my last nerve. Plus, the wonky, glitchy iOS8 sucks balls on the iPhone 6... much like Timmy Cook (oops, did I say that out loud? :eek.

So... I think I'm going to drive to the mall this weekend and punch anyone in the face who is driving a 3 Series Bimmer and has an iPhone 6 glued to their head. Yes, that will make me feel better.

I am a PhD in the insidious form of humanity known as the Poker Snob. The pro players that, granted, make their living from poker. But they think they're cooler then everyone else. Most of these shitbags never served and never paid attention to any part of the world beyond their own bankroll. Not all of them are assholes, but a defining percentage of them are.

Cigar snobs finally drove me from their section of the interweb. Cuban snobs and Fuente smokers are the worst. They are the Hugh Grant of all cigar enthusiasts.

Wine snobs amuse me more than bother me. Let them waste their money (much like cigar snobs). The absolute best wine I ever had in my life went for $9 a bottle (Pepperwood Grove Cabernet Franc ... sadly discontinued. I have had other good reds, but I have never had better for any price).

I don't consider myself a beer snob, but I only drink the micros. This isn't snobby because the Coors, Millers and ABs all truly suck that bad and life really is too short.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

I wouldn't consider myself a cigar snob, mainly because I don't smoke many more then 3 or 4 a year, but when I do, thy have to be really good ones. I like a nice Hoya de Monteray #1 maduro wrap. Or a Macaneudo. And I probably spelled both of those wrong.

I find what I refer to as iSnobs to be extremely annoying....like if you aren't using an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac or some sort of Apple product or software, you're just a fucking ignorant barbarian. Ultimate snobbery if you ask me.

I honestly didn't see your post before I wrote mine. Scary.

I refused to accept a BlackBerry from my (then) employer, back when everyone had to have one. I hated CrackBerry phones. Now that the iPhonatics are just as bad, I'm thinking of giving up my (trouble prone) iPhone 6 and going for that new BlackBerry Passport.

All of you jealous little snobs in this thread who think that you are any better than other snobs, while in the end you all originate from the same trashcan...
